A Link to the Past is actually my favourite of all time. Cute hit it on the head, you can't go past how amazing this game STILL looks to this day. Currently playing Ocarina of Time 3D on the 3DS which is pretty cool

As far as the Wii Zeldas go I actually loved Wind Waker. I loved how they just went in the cell shading direction and managed to pull off a pretty sweet looking game. The little "tunes" when you're combo hitting a monster was awesome, as were the boss fights. I liked the sailing and never had too many problems with it, I got stuck at one point when I didn't know what to do next (I refuse to find walkthroughs for Zelda games) and EVENTUALLY figured out you needed to drop into a hurricane or something. I loved the little wand mechanic, the sounds and the facial expressions and how everything felt like a Zelda game even though it looked different. I finished it 100 percent. The final boss fight was epic as.

I played Twilight Princess once all the way through and haven't touched it again. It looked good, it felt very "Zelda" but turning into a Wolf and howling turned me off vs the wind waker. The shadow beasts were cool, got kind of tired when I had to kill a whole bunch to get out of those little red fenced areas. I like what they did with the fairy and the plot twist (Midna etc) and the end boss was pretty cool (except for the very very end, that was lame and SUPER easy) but yeah definitely didn't like the wolf thing, it sounded terrible too. I dunno, I can't really put my finger on it but I DEFINITELY preferred Wind Waker over Twilight Princess. Never really got stuck, it was pretty obvious what to do next. It's a good game, but yeah. Sorry Dox.

Needless to say I am going to buy Skyward Sword and thrash it, especially if half the reviews are true. In pretty much every Zelda, the same thing happens (Ganondorf is coming oh noes) but you have your "tool" which is generally what the game is named after (Wind Waker, Ocarina, etc). If the "tool" is fun to use and I love using it I think I enjoy the whole game more. ALL the items should to be cool (and different) and fun to use by the looks of things, and I love a good boss fight with fun mechanics. No doubt there'll be something I need to throw bombs at until it's stunned and I can smack it a few times with my sword (lol).

Sorry for the rant, really hope Skyward Sword is amazing. Long live Zelda!

A couple of my favourites haven't been mentioned yet.. Did anyone play Link's Awakening? Probably my favourite 2D Zelda game (besides the almighty A Link to the Past of course). There was also the Oracle of Seasons/Ages games on GBC which were great fun too.

I think the Wind Waker is the only LoZ game I never actually completed.. Just seemed to tedious as mentioned earlier. I enjoyed it as all the normal LoZ elements were there, just the extra elements of the game kind of ruined it. Still worth while to play if you love all the others of course.

I think my order of love for these games would follow something like OoT > MM > aLttP > TP > LA > OoS/A > MC > Rest

Link's Awakening had a very melancholic feel to it. Perhaps the saddest Zelda game?

Oracle of Seasons and Ages were boss. I remember in primary school, me and my friend had one each, then when we beat them, you could swap to unlock the "final boss" (Hint: it was Ganon)

OMG spoilers bro, how are we supposed to know that Ganon was going to be the final boss!?!?!?!?

A Link to the Past makes me tear up when I hear the opening music, I have no idea why. I don't think I have replayed a game as much as I did that one. Ocarina of time was good, I don't recall enjoying any of the other games though. HEY LISTEN HEY HEY HEY.

Skyward sword looks decent though, I shall have to make some time for it (didn't even know about it before QQ).

Some wicked ass boss nerds managed to get Skyward Sword running via a PC Emulator and it LOOKS GODDAMN STUNNING.

Niiice, although it won't look so crisp on Wii being SD and all. The art style is still sick though

**Maynarde** · Thu, 17th-Nov-2011, 5:56 PM

It's like the cellshading style of Wind Waker meeting the more adult style of Twilight Princess. Good mix

I'm going to get reamed for saying this I think, but I'm brave. Maybe stupid, we can consider that after. Here goes...

Majora's Mask > Ocarina of Time

I one hundred percent agree. MM has the best story out of any of them imo

Definitely not stupid. Still, I have too much trouble deciding between these two games. They both meant different things to me, OoT being the first time I experienced Zelda in 3d, MM being possibly the most unique game in the whole series.

Finally some intelligent people (all of you, just quoted the last person for convenience),

Every time I became involved in discussions about Zelda with my group of friends ranging from school all the way into university, I would immediately get shut down by OoT fanatics who thought that it was the pinnacle of Zelda and wouldn't listen to any reasonable arguments on why the other games were just as (or better than) it.

Eventually they wore me down until I just stopped arguing for Majora's Mask and gave up lol.

I know your pain all too well

MM had an interesting game play style to it, but OoT was just much more fun :P

Just out of curiosity, what's your reasoning behind more fun? They played pretty much identically :P

Longer game, although MM had a ton of side quests (Time Journal system, collect masks etc) It was just more fulfilling to complete OoT than it was for MM.

Its hard to explain but I enjoyed the story line of OoT, got into it more and enjoyed playing the game all together than MM.

OoT just had more fun moments.

Shooting the arrow into the Sun for Fire Arrows (So proud of myself for figuring that out)
The infamous Water Temple
Triforce Tennis boss fight.
Trying to bomb the rolling Goron so he would talk to me.
Jabu Jabu's Belly, carrying that dumb bitch around.
Annoyingly slow King shuffle

I can count so many things I remember that were fun about that game, where as MM its just the Journal and transforming into things.

I just liked MM because of the story. I'm all about depth and immersion when it comes to playing video games and OoT just didn't draw me in like MM did.

ah the good old days.

Just ended up putting in a preorder for Skyward Sword. 120 bucks for game + soundtrack + remote with motion plus integrated + free delivery is a pretty solid deal for me. Now I just can't afford to eat for a week or so t.t

Quote:

* Note that the golden Wii Remote Plus will simply be golden in colour and will not contain any actual precious metals

Can't wait any longer, get hyped!

Payed off the rest of my preorder today. My girlfriend is going to pick it up for me, and says she can wait till I get back from my trip to play it...but I doubt it!

Cute · Mon, 28th-Nov-2011, 10:41 AM

Mine finally arrived!
Had to sit through like 5 minutes of instructional videos showing how to connect a controller before I could play zzz
